You’ll Thank Us Later, Meet Gringo Star…
See them live Saturday, March 13 at the 103 Gallery with Corey Webb.
Harry Dinwiddie, Eye Level’s charming new yoga instructor, is excited about bringing his love of spiritual body movement to the 103 Gallery on Tuesday nights.
He has been teaching for two years now, including a year at The Blue Turtle, and practicing for over six. Harry has developed an interesting twist on an old medium. Harry enjoys playing more upbeat music during his sessions because he feels it, “offers a chance to connect to the environment and elements and let ones’ self go with the flow of the music.” He enjoys practicing yoga to the soundtrack of his own life.
While Harry does lovethe soothing sounds of Tibetan bowls and traditional chanting, he tries to bring yoga into his everyday world by listening to music he enjoys on a daily basis.
Years ago, Harry was sick and tired of being out of shape. Working out and dieting were not getting him as far as he wanted; luckily, a friend dragged him to his first yoga class and he was hooked. When asked what about yoga makes Harry so satisfied, he replied, “It’s the centered and balanced feeling I receive from calming the mind and focusing, anything physical is just [a] bonus. I practice yoga to become aware of my true self and appreciate all that the universe provides to me.”
So lay your mat down and enjoy some relaxing introspection and a refreshing light workout with Harry Dinwiddie at Eye Level’s 103 Gallery on Tuesday evenings at 630. -CG
